Travis Henry Carter
Private detective Brett Cornell believes that he's never had it so good.
He's been on a winning streak playing poker in private games being held in the back room of one of his favorite night spots. He's recently been "discovered" by an exotic-looking beauty who specializes in homemade adult films.
In addition, he's been hired to track down a certain missing husband and bring him back home to his anxious wife. His life, however, takes a sudden turn for the worse when he opens the trunk of his car one evening and finds the missing husband's murdered corpse stashed away inside of it. A set-up for a murder rap?
Set in the late 1980s, Poolside with Brett is the first in a series of novels featuring the tough and crass "unscrupulous bastard" himself - a rude, wise-cracking private detective who happens to be a hugely successful ladies' man, thanks largely to what he immodestly refers to as his "Adonis-like features".
In a tale involving murder, blackmail, an unexpected suicide, and other assorted acts of violence and deceit, Brett learns the hard way that there's a steep price to be paid for being such an unscrupulous bastard - and listeners may very well feel that he gets exactly what he deserves, and more!

Would you consider the audio edition of Poolside with Brett to be better than the print version?
I've only listened but the voice acting was spectacular.What did you like best about this story?
I liked the place in time shout outs and apparent homage to classic mystery writers of a bygone era.Have you listened to any of Travis Henry Carter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not heard this narrator before but thought he was well suited for Poolside with BrettWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
While I would have liked to have listened to the book in one sitting it was ideal for workouts and varied tasks though some of the rougher moments made it inappropriate for the school commute.Any additional comments?
Poolside with Brett was well written and well voice. It is a bit blue at moments and somewhat a product of its time but with suspension of disbelief an acceptance that Brett is a douchewaffle who is a bit delusional about the legendary status of his man-beastliness, it a very good listen.Poolside with Brett is an outstanding listen....

misogynist. If you happen to be a big fan of men who think they are god's gift to women while simultaneously treating them like objectified garbage, then this book is for you. I was convinced the main character was a farce or a satire until i realized that simply wasn't the case. Not being a fan of that type of character, nor a big fan of gratuitous "adult content" (of which there is plenty), i have a hard time rating the story very highly. I did give the story a 3-star rating because i know there are plenty of people out there that love this stuff, so to them i'm sure it is perfect.
The narration was well done and captured the characters very well. I am impressed with the narrators ability to deliver some of those god-awful sexist lines while not breaking character. No way i am talented or professional enough to be able to do that! Props to you Mr. Carter.
Overall: If you love hearing women objectified, treated like mere sex objects with zero IQ and posses no societal value otherwise, then you will love this book. For all else, you've been warned.

The narrator was perfect for this story. He really pulled off what I would think a misogynist from Rhode Island would sound like. His narration of the other character was great as well and he really made the story great!
Overall the story is fun and interesting. Anyone who isn't afraid of some cursing or vulgar content will love this story! I just got the second book and can't wait to start listening!
